Sewing with a Pattern

CLASS: Sewing With a Pattern – Learn how to read (decipher 🙂 a commercial or indie pattern, cut out and construct a garment. We recommend a simple skirt or pajama pant for starters-woven cotton is a great fabric to begin with. It takes a few patterns to gain confidence and experience so take this class as often as you’d like. You will most likely need a second class to complete a garment.
